Healthy Eating at THORPE PARK

THORPE PARK takes very seriously our responsibilities to provide visitors with a quality food offering, including a wide range of healthy options - all at High Street prices. We constantly review the menus in our outlets, and over the last few years have not only improved the quality of our visitors' traditional favourites - but have also invested heavily in developing new balanced meals and healthy snacks for all the family - available where you see our 'Healthier Choices' logo. This includes grilling or oven baking our meals rather than frying whenever possible; offering baked potato or salad alternative to fries on all main courses wherever possible; improving the content of our kids lunchboxes; and even providing free fresh fruit salad with children's meals in many of our restaurants.

In 2008 we introduced many new options including a brand new range of delicious healthy kids meals developed by leading food and nutrition expert, Annabel Karmel, which contain fresh ingredients and vital nutrients for growing children.

However, we never forget that most people visiting a theme park/visitor attraction such as THORPE PARK regard it as a one or two day 'treat', and we must ultimately allow our guests' to take nutritional responsibility for their own food choices while they are with us.

Annabel Karmel

After a thrilling day at Thorpe Park with your friends, you'll probably be ravenous! Head to the Glass House Restaurant and try my brand new range of nutritious and healthy kids' food. Tasty home cooked food but with a healthy twist - choose from Fish Pie, Mild Chicken Curry, Cottage Pie & Spaghetti in a Tomato Sauce. All meals contain fresh ingredients and vital nutrients for growing children - vitamins, iron and essential fatty acids (to make you big and strong)! These meals taste so delicious; it's hard to believe they are good for you too.

Try them yourself, hands off Mum and Dad!
